They don’t like fish, ___?
Created: 1 month ago
A
do they?
B
don't they?
C
did they?
D
didn't they?
Correct Answer: ক) do they?
-
মূল বাক্য: They don’t like fish → এটি একটি negative sentence।
-
Tag question-এ, যদি মূল বাক্য negative হয়, tag হবে positive।
-
মূল verb don’t হওয়ায়, question tag-এ ব্যবহার হবে do।
-
Subject they tag-এ অপরিবর্তিত থাকবে।
-
সুতরাং সঠিক tag question: They don’t like fish, do they?
Other options:
-
খ) don't they? → এটি negative tag, যা negative বাক্যে ব্যবহার করা যায় না; ভুল।
-
গ) did they? → মূল verb present tense-এ, তাই past tense did ব্যবহার ভুল।
-
ঘ) didn't they? → past tense এবং negative tag, তাই ভুল।
